A funny tale about Andrew Largeman a.k.a. "Large," a guy who has lived a tranquilized life since his psychiatrist father fed him anti-depressants at the age of nine. He can't even properly mourn his departed mother and he spends most of his time upon his return hanging out with his old stoner buds. It isn't until he meets the attractive, talky Sam that Large's eyes are opened...along with his heart. (Home Box Office)
